Defamation and Professional Practice - "Defamation is intentional
communication of a false statement about someone to a third party—a
statement that injures the subject’s good name and reputation, damages
the subject’s standing in the community or deters others from
associating with him or her. Slander is oral defamation—a spoken
assertion about someone that’s not true." It is important to be aware of
all the implications of statements made about someone. Words can hurt
people and oneself in the long run in that you can be sued and
required to pay all attorneys fees.
